Good idea. And since there will be rain tomorrow, July might give another kick at the can for a good weather meet.
g5mike 05-06-2006, 05:37 PM go figure, It"s sunny all week then it rains sat,sun then it goes back to being sunny for the next five days:thumbsdow
victory_red_SS 05-06-2006, 05:37 PM I agree about a July meet. Summer should be in full swing and that is likely the soonest I would be able to make it to another meet, as I am not showing up in the wife"s 4dr Sunfire:lol:

Don't give up hope yet. I know the weatherman has been wrong at least once before.
we're gonna make history by having a cobalt meet in rain......
Come on it's not going to rain:nuts:

g5mike 05-07-2006, 12:43 PM funny eh! alls quiet on this thread yesterday and today because I know you folks are at home looking out the window right now,ha ha,Well at the very least you all might not want to do much in the rain but atleast we can still shoot the shit in person. I can just see Victory at home right now waiting for the rain to break so he can wash that beast of a car:lol:

g5mike 05-07-2006, 12:50 PM looking out the window right now it is clearing of a bit but I bet ya you still have some honkin clouds out in MapleRidge?
Matty 05-07-2006, 12:52 PM looking out the window right now it is clearing of a bit but I bet ya you still have some honkin clouds out in MapleRidge?
Raining like a bitch here. I am still tempted to go out and wash it.
g5mike 05-07-2006, 12:55 PM I just might have to give mine a rinse it has been a week and we have lots of trees and pollin here in Delta, it is much harder to keep a car cleaner than when I lived in Richmond:cussing:
pegasus_691 05-07-2006, 02:48 PM Not sure if I am going to show. I have a spa treatment set for 2pm at Metrotown and I have to be there 15 mins early. Not sure how much time that gives me.
I need to wash my car as well. Drove it out to Castle Fun Park lastnight in the rain and now you can see the dirt marks, argh....thats what you get for having a yellow car!

pegasus_691 05-07-2006, 11:05 PM So how was the meet?
Sorry I didn't show. I had errands to run and a spa treatment booked for 2pm. I managed to get my car washed though:) Maybe another time guys.
fiShYs- 05-08-2006, 01:06 AM wish i could have came too... got stuck baby sitting my little bro this morning
ill b there next time for sure
g5mike 05-08-2006, 01:07 AM It was small but good:) got to know one and other and exchange info and talk about some hilarious threads.Penquin had the best camera so Iam sure he is going to post some pics and yeah victorys custom cat garners lots of attention,Penquins sedan is a classy little car. after the meet I was driving home and seen two ss/na cobalts but they were going to fast for me to reach out and hit em with a cobaltss.net flyer. anyways Pegasus we are already looking at a mid July meet and a much much bigger one than this with a little work and lots of flyers I have no dobt it will be a success:twothumbs
Matty 05-08-2006, 01:36 AM I can't wait for Pie to get the pics on here. One helluva camera I must say.
It was great to meet all you guys (and gal).
Hopefully the next meet is bigger and the weather a bit better.
Jared 05-08-2006, 01:40 AM Next time you guys have a meet I'll come out. I don't have a CSS tho I've got an 01 Cavalier Z24.
g5mike 05-08-2006, 01:42 AM just being around other car enthusiasts is what is about Jared by all means see you in July
pegasus_691 05-08-2006, 01:54 AM I'll definately be there for the July meet, and who knows, maybe i'll see one of you on the roads! If you ever see a 06 Pontiac Pursuit GT in yellow, its me!! I'm a gal:) (don't see gals driving many of them)
Yesterday at my friend b day party I noticed I got my first rock chip. It's decent sized, need to head to the dealership for touch up paint:)
Can't wait to see some pictures of the meet today.
BTW, I called the place you mentioned about tinting, and there is a 2 week wait!!
09G5GT 05-08-2006, 02:03 AM We definately need another meet in the summer since I was out of town for this one. At the same time my car is so damn dirty right now you all would have boo'd me :)
PenguinPIE 05-08-2006, 02:15 AM ok...before i post the pics.....do you guys mind if i dont cover up the plates...(just in case so i ask :P ).....its not that many pics anyway
pegasus_691 05-08-2006, 02:28 AM Have you posted them yet? If so where are they posted???
g5mike 05-08-2006, 02:48 AM pegasus,one of the guys today at the meet works for n-motion, they do tint..www.n-motionauto.net knowing peaple usually translates into deal especially when you want to tint two cars:)
pegasus_691 05-08-2006, 02:55 AM We've actually called n-motion for their availability. They said they were booked until Tuesday. We decided that was where we were going to go. We have two cars needing to be tinting but we can only go in on the weekends (we both work during the week). I hear n-motion is really good:) Can I get a deal at all????
PenguinPIE 05-08-2006, 02:58 AM well ill just go ahead and upload them

pegasus_691 05-08-2006, 03:05 AM PenguinePie, How much did you pay for your tinting, and how many windows did you get tinted? We were quoted 3 hours per car and about $180-$220

A meet in mid july is preferable for me so that (hopefully) my car is done and back on the road.
Matty 05-08-2006, 12:16 PM Great job on the pics Pie. (that sounds funny when I say it out loud)
We do need a better location though. With the skytrain station there it is pretty busy.
Everyone keep there eyes open for a good locale where there is ample parking, not busy on a sunny summer day and has good picture potential.

Well if it's open to discussion i know the perfect place :) Have any of you ever been to Burnaby Mountain Park??? It's on the way to SFU, nice windy drive, restaurant at the top, and the downtown skyline + totem poles...everybody loves totem poles ;) Click the thumbnails for full-size pics :twothumbs

I haven't been up there in years. Is the parking lot still the same size? Small last time I was there.

Nah it's decent, depends on the time of day...at night its all guys showing off their sound systems and smoking pot but during the day its mostly a couple old folks and sight seers walkin thru the park. I used to go up there all the time for 240sx meets and it always kicked ass. The restaurant is probly wishful thinking tho...it's one of those posh places where u pay 25$ for a steak that, judging by the size, was carved off a hamster ;) I'll scope it out this weekend see what kind of traffic runs thru there.

I've eaten at that place a few times. Great food. And I used to be one of those guys smokin the pot up there when I was your age ;)

I have not made an appointment yet because we can only come in on weekends. When we phoned they told us they were booked until Tuesday. I'd like to get both cars in on the weekend, if possible. Saturday this weekend would be good if its available but I don't know if it is.
What kind of deal can you do? I don't have an appointment booked up yet....whats the availability like?

r_fiorda49 05-09-2006, 11:53 AM Somebody take initiative and make a Vancouver's Second Meet thread damnit :) :lol: I've been spending all morning trying to photoshop myself into the pics to no avail :bye:
